Mumbai,
February, 2024.
Tata
Passenger Electric Mobility Ltd (TPEM), a subsidiary of Tata Motors and the
pioneer of India’s EV revolution, today announced an exciting reduction in
prices of its bestselling EVs - Nexon.ev and Tiago.ev, with the objective of
making EVs more accessible to Indian customers.
Key
highlights of the price reduction:
Speaking
about this price reduction, Mr. Vivek Srivatsa, Chief Commercial Officer, TPEM, said, “Battery costs constitute a substantial part
of the overall cost of an EV. With battery cell prices having softened in the
recent past and considering their potential reduction in the foreseeable
future, we have chosen to proactively pass on the resulting benefits directly
to customers.
While
EVs have grown rapidly over the last few years, our mission is to accelerate
the mainstream adoption of EVs by making them more accessible nationwide. Our
portfolio already offers a wide choice of body styles, range and price points
for our smart, feature rich EVs. We believe that at these accessible prices,
the best-selling Nexon.ev and Tiago.ev become an even more compelling
proposition to attract a larger pool of customers.”
EV
have shown a strong growth momentum and are substantially outperforming the
overall passenger vehicle industry growth. In CY2023, the EV segment grew by
over 90% against the 8% growth recorded by the PV industry. This growth
momentum has continued in CY2024 with EV sales registering 100% YoY growth in
January 2024. TPEM with over 70% market share is the market leader in this
fast-growing segment.
